Question for Eds….
Arsenal away on Thursday…. If we were to be absolutely tanked 0-3, 0-4 by Arsenal do you think it would be curtains for Slot? SG in on interim basis until Summer?
Sorry if this has already been discussed, i've only just been released from a rubber room having lost it watching recent performances ?.
{Ed001's Note - no mate, not while top 4 is still within reach, I don't believe he would get sacked. Maybe if it was 7 or 8 or something ridiculous and the team absolutely collapses that might be enough.}
06 Jan 2026 15:03:12
We're crap but we will get something out of that game.
06 Jan 2026 15:18:23
Scouse John, Yeah a Drubbing is what we will get.
06 Jan 2026 15:19:56
Can't speak for others but I don't want Gerrard anywhere near the team. Terrible manager and even worse human being.
06 Jan 2026 15:21:55
Why would you sack Slot and appoint Gerrard?
It doesn't make any sense.
To those that believe it's 'because he couldn't do any worse'; he could.
We don't want to keep changing managers to achieve 'a bounce' or in the false belief that things can't get any worse.
We are a well run club that doesn't just react to every setback or bad spell. Change doesn't necessarily mean progress.
06 Jan 2026 15:32:58
we are decent when other teams come out and play, and nick 1 or 2 on the counter.
If it is emirates, gunners have to come at us and this will be an opportunity to get something.
06 Jan 2026 15:39:26
Why is Gerrard a horrible a human being . I know some of his family n not many who know him have a bad word to say, only that he's a bit miserable and not as social as some would like him to be . he was in a pub over xmas by ours and was happy to take photos with people in there.
06 Jan 2026 15:58:31
I'm not totally happy with Slot but hoping we get tanked 3 or 4-0 just so we get rid of him is something I could never do.
Let's just support the team and see what happens.
06 Jan 2026 16:09:42
I'd happily take Gerrard as caretaker or interim to get rid of Slot. This turgid and boring football is not even bringing us good results. I genuinely think the players would start getting better results even if Virgil and Robbo took over the coaching and management decisions for the rest of the season.
In my opinion Slot's tactics aren't just poor, they are actually detrimental. It's like playing with a handicap to give our inferior opposition a fair crack. We'd get better results if we just put the best 11 players on the pitch and told them to play their own game and use their own brains. We have more world class players in our squad than anyone else in the league in my opinion. Alisson, Virgil, Wirtz, Salah and Isak are all world class. Gravenberch and Kerkez were in the team of the year last season and will become world class in my opinion. Mac Allister has won a world cup as a key player and is of interest to Real Madrid. Szoboszlai was once considered a talent of equal level to Erling Haaland during their Salzburg days together. Ekitike was signed because he was considered to be the best striker at that age since Mbappe and Haaland. Even the likes of Gakpo, Jones, Bradley, Chiesa, Frimpong, Mamardashvili etc are all very good players on their day. The only weak link in the team is at CB (Konate and Gomez are poor defenders and Virgil is too old to carry them anymore) . Even that is Slot's fault, because he pushed Quansah out the door after demolishing his confidence, and now refuses to give chances to the likes of Wellity Lucky or Alvin Ayman no matter how bad Konate's performances get.
I'm honestly sick of the excuses some of our fans are making. This is the best squad we've had in the clubs history (by far) and they're playing absolutely dreadful. When we signed Isak, many pundits were saying the title race was over and we'd run away with it. This total mismanagement of a squad steeped in huge amounts of talent is utterly embarrassing. Yes we are short by a CB, but that doesn't explain the god awful build up play, lack of identity, lack of goals, fragility from every dead ball situation etc. It's absolute pony and anyone still refusing to admit that is incredibly deep in denial. Salah, Mac Allister and Virgil haven't become a bad player overnight, nor have Kerkez or Isak who signed as star players. It's just impossible for them to shine with these tactics. The only players shining remotely are 'drifters' like Szoboszlai, Ekitike and Wirtz who play with more positional freedom naturally. It's harder to fully shackle players like that with bad tactics.

Thanks Ed…. Interestingly we're going away on a Caribbean cruise on Friday. The last time we went I switched on Sky sports at 7am local time (11am GMT) to breaking news of Klopp's resignation…. Totally ruined my holiday! I wonder if there might be similar news this time ??.
06 Jan 2026 16:40:01
Thing is MK, we'd be going from one lot of turgid slop to another, as Gerrard's tactics are non existent. His Villa team were atrocious, couldn't defend to save their lives and was sacked before he got them relegated. Just look at the mess over at Old Toilet, they're just about to put Solskjaer in again as an interim and he's as effective as a eunoch at a gang bang.
It's not even as if he'd be a motivational manager like Klopp as he has a dire lack of charisma and to call him one dimensional would be generous. It would be making a bad situation even worse. Yes, I am of the view that Slot's time is probably up. But employing someone who is a managerial failure who has no notable success on his CV is a mistake waiting to happen.
06 Jan 2026 16:41:39
Mk Scouser. I agree with everything you wrote.
06 Jan 2026 17:20:07
MK Scouser, you talk about mismanagement but talk about van Dijk and Robertson making management decisions. They have no experience whatsoever.
The other day, you were talking about Roy Evans or SKD taking over for one or two games!
Do you really think that this is the best squad in the club's history? Seriously?
Did you ever watch Paisley's teams? Dalglish's of the 80s with Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge?
Klopp's squad with Salah, Mane and Firmino at their best that won the League by eighteen points?
It's yet another post based upon the emotions of a fan that thinks spending a load of money will bring success.
Despite spending the money, the squad lacks balance, three of the new signings have spent more time injured than playing and two (Wirtz and Kerkez) are struggling to settle.
These are not excuses but if you are tired of reading posts that you disagree with, log off; it's that simple.
I mean, if you listen to pundits that say the title race is over and we'd walk it before a ball has been kicked you are not going to listen to reason and sense, are you?
I hope you find some sort of peace, mate.

10 goals from the world class attacking trio of Salah, Wirtz and Isak in January. Suppose that's Slots fault. I know all three are good players (salah is my favourite player of the last decade) but THIS season playing for US not Leverkusen or Newcastle none have been remotely near world class. Salah has been miles away from his usual standards and the other two have been either injured or largely brutal.
Virg gets a pass because he babysits ibou on the weekly but even Allison, for starters he's done his now normal season of been out already with a 6 week injury and its only January. He'll probably be out again before seasons end and when he comes back from these injurys it takes him time to get back to peak form as is the case again since he's been back.
06 Jan 2026 17:46:41
MK, you're a good poster, and I always like reading what you have to say. However, to say this is our best squad, ever, is way off the mark. And to blame tactics for the way Isak's performed is ludicrous. I've said before, he looked as fit as me before he got injured.
I agree about the build up play, etc. However, the form of Salah, VVD and Mac, is down to them.
And, yet again, I'm not blinkered, it is turgid to watch us, but it doesn't all rest with Slot, though he will ultimately carry the can.
06 Jan 2026 17:52:38
Sean
Are you struggling to read? The OP said IF we got beat 3 or 4-0. He wasn't hoping to get beat.
06 Jan 2026 18:07:38
Quansah was an accident waiting to happen and didn't see many on here wanting him to stay.
06 Jan 2026 18:38:13
"10 goals from the world class attacking trio of Salah, Wirtz and Isak in January. Suppose that's Slots fault. "
Of course it's slots fault, you don't wait for teams to get into a defensive shape and try passing your way to goal, when there's no space and blame it on a low block, in the fulham game there were plenty of times when Fulham had 6-7 players in our half, that's the time to play quick football not this pathetic football.
06 Jan 2026 18:58:25
I get what you're saying Irish but the OP obviously wants Slot gone so is hoping that something happens to force the club's hand. In this case it's us being tanked 3 or 4-0.
Why would you even say that if you didn't on some level want it to happen?
Reading some of the posts on here I don't think he's the only one either.
06 Jan 2026 19:06:58
Totally agree MK.
People can disagree about whether it's our best team ever, but it's definitely our best team for decades and the point and the point is that it's been hamstrung but Slotball.
I'm also sick of the slot-cult excuses of player form. Who plays these out of form players over and over through our worse run of results ever and refused to play our most in form players?
Similar with blaming Hughes for an unbalanced squad. Could we strengthen - sure, but it has nothing to do with our terrible slow attack that struggles to create two chances a game against poor teams. This team was built to our score the opposition and Slotball has us playing so slowly that the entire opposition team is behind the ball before we even get in to their half and then we just slowly compress them into their 18 and pass around until we lose possession. Why would we sign a winger when slot has refused to play anyone on the wings who want to play with any speed or directness?
Slots list of failures just keeps growing, and I just don't see how anyone is going to trust him going forward after this season because so many of the failings are down to his stubborn persistence on continuing with his ideas while watching them fail. I can understand waiting until preferred replacement is available in summer, but to totally write off this season by hoping all the teams around us continue to struggle, which is what we're doing by persisting with Slot, is still hard to accept.

Gerrard till end of season and hopefully Luis enrique.
06 Jan 2026 19:28:46
Sean Dundee and Florian more rubbish. You're conflating people who want Slot out and speculating about fans supposedly wanting to get beat. He asked a valid question, "if Liverpool got tanked by Arsenal would that be the end of Slot" and he cited an example scoreline. So stop putting words in the mouths of other users particularly when you'll defend Slot at every turn.
On Gerrard. I'd take him as an interim he did well at Rangers and he's a decent coach. Didn't work out for him at Villa but Lampard didn't work at Everton. One thing I'll guarantee Gerrard would bring over Slot, more passion, more attacking impetus and more direction.
06 Jan 2026 20:14:54
The OP said nothing wrong. Maybe people should do a better job of reading comments properly before jumping on people's backs.
06 Jan 2026 20:38:04
Ok Frode Isak, Wirtz, Salah, Virg and Alli have been world class this season if you think so. And its not even the best team we've had in the last 10 years never mind our history.
06 Jan 2026 23:14:27
Remember, if you disagree with MK Scouser you are deep in denial.
*rolls eyes*.
07 Jan 2026 08:44:21
You want to hear MK Scouser talking about grooming children.
07 Jan 2026 17:25:03
Florian where did I say they'd been world class? If we're going there they are world class players not playing to their levels because of an inept manager that you'll defend regardless.
